Sport Marine Technologies

EXCLUSIVE NEW SITE GAUGE ... ... FOR A PERFECT INSTALLATION !

SE SPORT comes with all the hardware you need: four stainless bolts and locking nuts, 4 stainless washers, and 4 rubber washers.

Quick and easy to install using drill, screwdriver and socket wrench.

1. Center the SE Sport on the top of the cavitation plate. Move the Sport forward (toward the boat) until any further movement would tilt the Sport up. Leave at least 3/8" metal (1/2" or more preferred) from the holes to be drilled and any edge of the cavitation plate. Remove the Sport after marking the four holes. Rarely, some outboards or sterndrives will require a slight cut or bigger notch in the "yoke" area of the Sport in order to give the 1/2" spacing between the rear holes and the end of the plate. This is easily handled with a small saw or grinder and will not affect the durability or warranty of the Sport.

2. Use the site gauge as a final template guide to verify proper placement. Before using, hold the site gauge to the underside of the Sport to verify the holes line up with the marked arrows on the site gauge. Some motors and sterndrives require drilling the forward holes (closest to the boat) from the bottom of the cavitation plate. The site gauge is a perfect tool for this task. Drill the rear holes first and use the gauge to mark the forward holes.

3. After drilling holes (1/4" - 9/32"), place the rubber washers on the plate with the thin ones forward (closest to the boat) and the thick ones rear. Place the Sport on the rubber washers and secure the hardware (1" bolts forward and 1-1/2" bolts rear). The bolts may be installed up or down. Either method requires the steel washers next to the lock nuts. Tighten the lock nuts using an alternating pattern. Tighten to snug and add 1/4 extra turn. Do not over tighten.

Use the locking nuts only once in the assembly. Reusing them can cause the locking insert to fail. Most hardware stores stock stainless locking nuts if reassembly is required.

Volvo:

The older Volvo SX with the single, non-exhaust cavitation plate requires 1-1/2" bolts (not included) for the rear holes. Volvos 270 will accomodate the Sport 300 with some material taken from the "yoke" area of the Sport. Volvos 280, 290, DPS,DPR, DPH and the newer SX models with the large anode on top of the cavitation plate and the exhaust through the plate require four 2-1/2" bolts and 1" or 1-1/4" fender washers on the bottom plate. Purchase locally or call 940-686-9000 for the purchase of the hardware and any additional instructions. Not recommended for Volvo Ocean Series XDP composite sterndrives.
